Niall Mcnamee

Niall Mcnamee is performing live at The Prince Albert in Brighton on Thursday 19 November 2026. The Irish singer-songwriter and actor will be taking to the stage at 20:00 for a show that highlights his original material, which draws heavily from his deep-rooted background in traditional music.

Mcnamee is a self-taught musician who has been surrounded by music for his entire life. His path to this point has been quite distinct; during his years working as an actor, he continued to perform Irish folk songs regularly. This period was instrumental in deepening his understanding of traditional music structures and storytelling, providing a solid foundation for the songs he writes today. Since then, he has been developing his own original material, which works to fuse that folk heritage with the energy of contemporary rock and pop. When discussing his musical influences, he points to a wide range of artists, including Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, The Pogues, and Christy Moore. More recently, he has also noted the influence of The Undertones on his sound, which adds a different texture to his songwriting and performance style.

The venue for the show, The Prince Albert, is located at 48 Trafalgar Street, Brighton, BN1 4ED. Tickets for the evening are priced at £16.50. It is a ticketed event, so it is worth planning ahead if you are interested in catching his set. The performance is aimed at those who follow singer-songwriters and fans of contemporary folk-rock, bringing together his experience in acting and his dedication to the craft of songwriting. It is a chance to see how he balances those traditional folk elements with the more modern rock and pop sounds he has been incorporating into his recent work. By keeping his folk roots present while exploring these other genres, he creates a set that reflects his personal musical history.
